Dear kharavela,

You are in range for the part-time programs, but the GMAT is below average/closer to the bottom of the range. If you know you can do better on the GMAT, then I think it would be worth retaking. Whether or not you retake the test, you need to ensure your essays, resume and interview are outstanding and present a compelling case for your candidacy.

Best of luck,
Lisa

Kharavela,

I am in exactly the same boat as you, could you please let me know if you did re-take the GMAT or not.

I got admitted to Kellogg. I didn't re-take GMAT. Followed Stacy's advice and spent a little over 6 moths on my essays. I reviewed the essays over and over until I felt comfortable with the essays.

I wish you all the luck in your application.

regards,
Kharavela
